So what you will be doing installing something called (B9S) Boot9strap. It will give you full control over your system. In addition, we will be installing custom firmware that can utilize B9S capabilities.

The guide can explain it better than anyone on this site can, just read everything carefully and try to get a grasp on the lingo.

Also, im interested in pros and cons, compared to my current gateway 3DS card i use

Well in the end, you will be able to install 3ds games as well as homebrew made by the talented users of this site. You will also have access to past Nintendo titles from the NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA. If you have a flash card, you can also play DS games. You can install custom themes or make you own.

DO NOT USE GATEWAY. A lot of people here will defend it and that is fine. However, 3DS CFW will do everything a gateway can do. Its also much safer than gateway

Yes and No. You see, Nintendo never put SNES virtual console games on the o3sd because it never met their "Standards." This didn't stop people and talented people got a snes emulator runnning at 59.9 FPS on the o3ds. Its not virtual console but it works just as well.

You came on board at a good time. B9S installation is cake compared to when a9lh first came out, or when downgrading to 9.2 was needed and dangerous. Now all the homebrew needed to install b9s and Luma have safety checks and are noob friendly, especially paired with 3ds.guide
